Feels like an accomplishment.

Today the motorcycle hit 30,004 miles.

It hit it at the 237/880 interchange on the way back from a daytrip to Yosemite, where I met Tug and Revar for dinner. After wandering through the valley, buying gouda at Oakdale Cheese, stopping to smell the flowers (didn't smell much), getting a plant identification card, seeing the gorgeous and engorged Bridal Veil and Yosemite falls, hiking 3 miles, napping.

Hopefully they'll get the falls pictures. I followed Orion home, and as he passes below the horizon, so shall I for the land of sleep.

Helmet+Hives+central valley fog very bad, though.

Interesting - Dad was wondering if you'd hit the "fog of doom" (my term, not his). I'll have to let him know you did :-)

I'm glad you took your bike up there -- nice ride! I'd have liked to come but would have missed Teddy's first ever practice Little League game. That may have been one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

Didn't hit the fog of doom;

There was no tule fog (dense banks along the delta waterways) just a haze. At 80mph, it tends to penetrate the gear. Next time!
